STEAK MARINADE MY WAY
I don't know where I picked this up. I've been doing it since I first started cooking, and it's just a great flavor for steaks. I'd suggest at least a nights worth of soaking if you have the time to. The main flavor in this marinade is the Italian mixed with the Worcestershire.

Steps:
- This recipe is best if you beat the steaks and stab it a few times with a fork so the juice can soak into the meat.
- Mix Italian dressing and Worcestershire sauce. This is the main thing--if you would like to add more or less of either, just make sure the Worcestershire isn't overpowering the Italian dressing.
- Add minced onion, garlic powder, seasoned salt and pepper to tastes. I usually use at least a shake or two from each bottle, a little lighter on the salt and pepper then the other two, but its not a science in the recipe, just go with your tastes.
- Marinate!

STEAK MARINADE
Soy, coriander and cumin join ginger and garlic in this simple, umami-laden marinade. It's a perfect match for any tender cut of beef, such as bavette, rib-eye or flank steak which have a loose, visible grain primed for soaking up marinades. This recipe imparts its flavor in as little as 30 minutes, though the meat benefits from any additional marinating time - and can sit for up to two days. The steak chars as it cooks, and the exterior caramelizes to create a crisp, powerfully savory crust.

Steps:
- Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, coriander and cumin in a large bowl or resealable freezer bag. (You should have 3/4 cup marinade.) Add the steak and massage the marinade into the meat, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for at least 3 hours or up to 2 days. (The marinade will permeate the meat more powerfully over time, resulting in a more robust flavor.)
- Remove the meat from the refrigerator about 1 hour before cooking to bring to room temperature. Heat a large heavy skillet, grill or grill pan over high heat. If using a pan, add the neutral oil to the pan. (No oil is needed for the barbecue or griddle pan.) When the pan or grill is hot, use tongs to remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to fall away before placing the steaks on the pan or grill. Depending on the thickness of your steak (and the doneness you prefer), cook a 1-inch-thick steak for about 3 minutes per side until medium-rare. For thinner steaks or alternative cuts, reduce the cooking time to about 2 minutes per side, and increase the cooking time as needed for thicker cuts.
- Remove the steak and let rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice the meat against the grain. Serve warm, room temperature or even cold, depending on your preference.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of steak. Some cuts, like flank steak or skirt steak, are best marinated for a short period of time, while others, like chuck roast or brisket, can benefit from a longer marinade.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what will give your steak its flavor, so make sure to use a combination of ingredients that you enjoy. Some popular marinade ingredients include olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, herbs, and spices.
- Marinate the steak for the right amount of time. The longer you marinate the steak, the more flavor it will absorb. However, if you marinate the steak for too long, it can become tough. For most cuts of steak, a marinade time of 30 minutes to 24 hours is ideal.
- Cook the steak properly. Once the steak is marinated, it's time to cook it. Be sure to cook the steak to your desired doneness. For rare steak, cook it to an internal temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium-rare steak, cook it to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium steak, cook it to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For well-done steak, cook it to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Marinating steak is a great way to add flavor and tenderness to your favorite cuts of meat. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and juicy steak that your family and friends will love. So next time you're planning a steak dinner, be sure to marinate your steak for the best results.
